Dark Circles Contemporary Dance kicks off the autumn arts productions with A New Dance Musical. Dallas choreographer and DCCD founder Joshua L. Peugh, drawing inspiration from J.M. Barrie’s classic story about the boy who refused to grow up, Pete explores themes of childhood, freedom and mortality, as well as addressing issues involving race, gender, sexuality and privilege.

‘Sleeping Beauty’ awakens in North Texas
The Texas Ballet Theater typically produces its ballets both in Dallas and Fort Worth, but for this season opener, it will be taking a bit of a break between performances. Aurora waits for her charming prince to kiss her to life in Tchaikovsky’s timeless classic The Sleeping Beauty, a whimsically dashing display of style and grace. While it will be at the Winspear this weekend, you’ll have to wait until October to see the production at Bass Performance Hall.
